Oh my goodness! I just found a picture of Jimmy while going through my moms stuff. She passed away February 11. So many good memories, living across the street in Milwaukee. I remember meeting Joey, Norman, and Jimmy trying to teach me how to bowl. I hope he and my mom will cross paths in heaven. To his family: I have only happy memories of this wonderful man who babysat for us, befriended us and loved us. God Bless

I am so sorry for your loss. My name is Alice Johnston. My husband, Richard and I were Jim's bowling partners at Century Lanes for nearly ten years. We had a lot of fun on Sunday nights. He also came to Richard's 65 birthday dressed as Santa. Richard's Birthday was December 28th, 2006. That was his last birthday. Shirley I feel your loss, but I will always remember Jim's smile and laughter.
